Rumor: Call of Duty 5 to be set during World War II

Say it isn't so! Enough already with the WWII shooters.

Treyarch ruined the call of duty name. Activision needs to stop milking damn Call of duty already. Maybe one day Infinity Ward will become independent kinda like Bungie.

i didnt actually mind COD 3 that much, but if COD 5 is set in WWII then i am not buying it.

sudo dont make a WWII shooter

No please no. I don't want another WWII Shooter. CoD 4 was so great because is set on a modern combat.

I'm pretty sure most of us are tired of WWII games right now.

Same goes for me, I'm not ever buying another game developed by Treyarch. Spider-Man 3 was just AWFUL! Graphics on par with Big Rigs. And I haven't played COD3 but I've heard plenty about how bad it was compared to 2 and 4. Infinity Ward is clearly one of the best game developers out there.. MOST gamers don't bother reading these sites and knowing who did what, so a large portion of the gamers who liked COD4 will hate COD5 and never buy COD6. Way to destroy your core audience.

That MR.Nelson Rodriguez over at Achievment Junkie, actually saw over the shoulder of a treyArch employe while on the plane, and saw most of the details to COD5... I can safly say its going to be modern.

I heard this mentioned some time back. Call of Duty 5, as I understand it, is being made by the same people who did Call of Duty 3, and will be set in WWII.

Call of Duty 6, will be done by the people who did Call of Duty 4 and 2, and will continue to be modern warefare, as established in COD4.

DAMN IT!!!! Damn you to hell Treyarch! I hate you! Infinity Ward FTW.

hee hee, joystiq said "duty"!!

you want an idea? Make a non-historically-technologically-correct ancient historic war. Example, although I'm no good at any - try to do the American Civil War. Only thing that you'd have to do is put in some decent Civil-War looking machine guns (which weren't invented until after the civil war), sniper rifles, etc. because cleaning a rifle in the middle of a game isn't any fun. Potentially, this could get really fun - the civil war had a lot of large battles and sweeping locales, and fighting on virtual American soil could be pretty fun.

treyarch didn't make spider-man 3 they made spider-man 2. I forget who made Spider-man 3.

OMG, the Star Trek curse of the odd numbers has found a new victim!

D=

I was hoping 5 would be made buy the real creaters. Not that peace of shit dev team. 3 was HORRIBLE. I'm not going to even spend money on 5 if it's made by them.

I just read the title, and too tired to read the rest.
so . . . OH NOOOOOOOOOOES!!!

I still think they need to make it Call of Duty 5: MW

Medieval Warfare...I have trust that Infinity Ward can pull that off. "You just got owned in the face by an arrow" What's not awesome about that? I mean get 7 kills in a row and you get to unleash the Black Plague.

ugh. COD3 was awful.

R these people f*(#*( retarded. CoD 4 was one of the best shooters i've ever played. Why in gods name would they go back to treyarch. stick with infinity was shit. it's deep and its hard bitch.

ttreeeaaaayaarrcchh. GROAN. spiderman 3 and call of duty 3.. YEAH mentioning those crap-tacular games doesn't exactly do them any good.

what the hell is left of WW2 that hasnt been played out in COD1,2, or 3? lol.

don't do it treyarch, ww2 shooters suck, see your buddies at activision on how to make a good game, cod4 is where it's at.

Seroiusly...leave WWII alone. I'm getting sick of it myself.

I also kinda saw this coming. I just knew that if COD4 was successful, something was gonna come along and quickly kill this franchise.

CoD4 = rampant critical and retail success, so what to do with CoD5? Get a development studio that's familiar with the franchise to do it for cheap and capitalize on the success of the last game. Yay! -_-

Give a monkey a gun and some ammo, and wait for it to shoot itself in the foot.

I dunno, maybe they could do something original.. *laughs*

I'm glad I never got into this whole WW2 shooter bullshit. Once developers come with something a tad bit more original, then I'll bite.

I'd rather them just use the engine they already have in CoD4, just make a bunch of new missions...

As is I wont be picking up number 5.

GAY!!!
everyone's done WWII to death, lets get some war of 1812 up in this bitch, American Revolutionary war, or maybe even the Battle for Constantinople?

If they are going to do WW2, at least put it in the Pacific Front.

Well i guess since Activision has made a perfect game they have to lower their standards and go back to making average WWII shooters

Guess they're going Infinity - Tretarch - Infinity route

so...I shall buy CoD4 cause it takes one more year for Infinity Ward's CoD6.

Anybody see how that says "Rumor" in the title of the article? No need to make a WWII-sized mountain out of a molehill.

you're right - Treyarch fucked up completely with CoD 3, I was horrified at how terrible it was - the graphics had gone BACKWARDS since CoD: finest hour, the mini games were shocking, and there was no story at all. please, Treyarch, leave this reforming series alone. I have all the CoD games there are, I think I know a good CoD from a bad CoD when i see it.

And please, I know you're all americans and want to blow my country up in the American Revolution, but that war was about as boring and short as a fly's life. now, the reason we have no WW1 games is because the Americans practically did nothing in WW1, so the American games developers wouldn't dedicate an entire game to playing as the British or French. I think that's kinda racist myself. The pacific front was shown to be crap in MoH. WW2 has been played to death. Can they not just carry on with the modern day, SAS and USMC stuff? now THAT is more interesting than playing as a European Freedom fighter against some Nazis.

the reason i was attracted to CoD in the first place many years ago was because it wasn't like MoH - where you're a one - man american army saving Europe single - handedly from the Nazis. CoD actually showed that all the other countries did something.
Oh, and I've researched about the American Civil war, if they set a CoD then it would be shit and I wouldn't be buying it. It'd just be MoH all over again but oldified.
Please, just leave it modern now. We're all like an exhausted Army that just couldn't bear to be forced back into the 2nd world war all over again.

I dont care really, cause Call of Duty 3 is an OK game, good enough for me even on the PS2. But if they put some better weapons in (from WWII of course) and put some planes and helicopters you could fly, and worked on graphics, I think it would be better

It will be ok if it is set in wwII but it would be way cooler if set in vietnom or a diffrent war made up like in call of duty 4 just as long as treyarch dosn't make I mean like seiriusly!

whats so bad about treyarch? i like call of duty 3.
I still liked call of duty 4 better but CoD 3 was still pretty cool. Whats wrong with Treyarch???

screw that!, i want a revolutionary war COD! or Civil War COD, if not those, then another modern warfare of some type

So I was looking around for COD5 news and I found this forum. It looks like you all have played it? Seen it? Talked to someone who's played it or seen it?

The type of ww2 fps that tends to come out of development should die. Even now its still often The lone American (or close to it) vs the Germans in some franchise named after medals or glory or w/e. Call of Duty 1 went in the right direction. Americans Russians and British and some interesting scenes. Moh Spearhead had a few interesting ideas like the mission where you spend half your time just ducking shells.

However. There are fronts and indeed, entire nations that haven't even been touched on yet. The ones that have been haven't been much and even then in a very floored way. Where are the games with a strong anti-war taste. Where are the games where you play as the German soldier under Nazi oppression. Hell wheres the game where you play as the true Nazi soldier (as long as its done in a tasteful way with plenty of irony)

Where are the games with deep characters, decent voice acting, strong research. Where are the games that actually make a point. Where are the games that are fresh!. Where are the whatif games that are really well rooted reality but still go onto an interesting alternate reality.

So im totally with ppl that say ENOUGH OF WW2 fps, but only in terms of the kind of ww2 fps that keeps getting recycled. In terms of the games that could be made, the points of view that could be taken, the flavour of games that could be made, the political point that could be made, the feeling that could be involved, they havent even touched on ww2 yet, and i really hope that they do, make gaming a media that can rival film artistically and educationally.

I would love to see COD 5 based on WW2,because thats why i bought all the others.Going into modern warfare is just biteing off of socom thats it.I was very pissed when i saw the next cod was modern warefare its a leap in the wrong direction.
